XLSTAT: Getting started with XLSTAT-R

 

Activating XLSTAT-R

• If you are a licensed XLSTAT user, to activate XLSTAT-R all you need to do is install XLSTAT.

• If you are not a licensed user, you should install the XLSTAT trial version, or, if you have already used a trial in the past, you need to order a license.

 

Using an existing R feature

• Open XLSTAT.

• Click on the More/ XLSTAT-R menu and select one of the existing features.

   

• The corresponding feature dialog box opens: 

• Select the data and configure the dialog box like in standard XLSTAT function.

• Click on the OK button to launch the computations.

If you have never set up analysis in XLSTAT before, have a look at an example  here.

 

Creating your own R features

You can also add your own features in XLSTAT-R. Check our tutorial on how to deploy a simple R function in Excel using XLSTAT-R here.

As part of this procedure, you will need to edit XML files. We recommend that you use Sublime (Windows and Mac) or Notepad++ (Windows only), or any editor that takes into account the file format and can make the difference between code parts and user inputs.

Sublime can be downloaded at http://www.sublimetext.com

Notepad++ can be downloaded at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ You can find a documentation of the code elements that you can use within XLSTAT-R.
